1988. Stephen Hawking publishes A Brief History of Time. George H. W. Bush is voted in as President-elect. The Winter Olympics are in CANADA (debuting the first Jamaican bobsled team – yeah, like Cool Runnings, AND self-taught Eddie the Eagle – yeah, like Taron Egerton). The Body Rap toy sweeps the nation (fur-real – look this up). However, most importantly, America’s favorite girl next door, Alyssa Milano, stars in THE only workout VHS tape you will ever need: Teen Steam.
